The Prescott Courier says one of the first things the Fourteenth As sembly should do, is to pass q bill providing for the funding of all county and territorial indebted ness. This should be done with out delay, and a copy of the bill should be sent immediately to the chairmcn of the Committees on Territories of the House and Sen ate, so that Congress can act upon 1t at this session. The Courier be- lieves that all our territorial ill- debtedness can be funded at , CT 6 per cent, and our county indebt- cdness at from 6 to : :; that bonds bearing interest at the above rates can be sold at par It should be done. The issuing of county war rants bearing s and 10 per cent in terest to be sold at discount of from 15 to 40 per cent, is a burthen to the counties from which the tax payers should be relieved. Fund the county and territorial debts. Then take a new departure and pay in coin, instead of paper. Create no more debt, and in a few years we will all feel and know how much better 1t is to "pay as you go."

 county, We desire to say emphati-
 cally that this project of dividing
 the county does not meet the ap- proval of any thing like majority of the voters. The scheme Is inn
 practicable and suicidal, and the 1 people do not sanction 1t. By ref
 erence to the vote cast at the last
 election, it will be seen at glance
 that St. Johns alone boiled nearly
 one-third of the votes cast, and
 the county seat, together with
 neighboring precincts are opposed
 to division to a man. To give ac- tual figures, at the last election the
 vote stood: St. Johns, 262; Mine ral, 19; Concho, II ; Tule, 31 Salt
 Lakes, 8; Nutrioso, 2 /; Lake Erin, 15; Springerville, 110-making 544
 voters out of a total county vote of about 900, whose interest and wish es are pronounced against a divi- sion of the county. The county as it stands is grooming under its taxation and must, in the near fu- ture, make provision to meet its past due indebtedness. What are we to do, and what relief can we hope for, if our resources are dis tributed and crippled-if we dou- l bie the burdens which are already placed upon our taxable property, We simply double our expenses without in any degree adding to our facilities for meeting them. The proposed division means noth- ing less than bankruptcy and ruin; twill effectually deter emigration, and drive out resident citizens, who in flight will seek safety from the burdens of taxation so nnerous that it will fall but little short of confscation. Again the line of di- vision as indicated will leave in one of the proposed new counties taxable property aggregating about $300.000 in value, exclusive of the railroad property. With a large in terest bearing debt to begin with, and not less than $20,000 to pro- vide annually to maintain the coun- ty government, any reasonable per son can readily perceive that the resources at hand would utterly fail to provide the necessary sum, unless the assessment was so griev- ousl ly ruinous that 1t would be inn possible to collect 1t even by the extremely harsh measure of forced sales. The scheme is so wild, vis- ionary and untenable that we can not believe for a moment that our representatives can seriously enter tain the perpetration of so violent a wrong and outrage, in opposition to fully two-thirds of the voters. The extent of country embraced in the county limits is undoubtedly unwieldly and attended with incon- veniences, but in attempting to rid ourselves of these features, by so ineXpedient a method, we at once accumulate other ills of vastly greater magnitude, which will prove ill the end ilsurmOuntablc. With sufficient increase in wealth and population, the plan might be fea- sible, but at present it would prove nothing short of a death blow to the county, its prosperity and de- velopment.

applied the whole thing to himself.
Some time ago | was called upon to
attend a patient with the hiccoughs.
For three days and nights he hiccough-
ed continually He had been reading
book on the subject and that
started him off. Last winter n sensi-
tive young man from Camden at
tended lectures at the Jefferson col
lege. After spending several hours
one evening in the dissecting-room he
returned home and announced he
was dead. His parents paid little at
tention to him. They thought he
was amusing himself with a grim Jest.
He went to his bedroom and stretch
ed himself on his bed like n corpse.
There he was found the. following day,
still maintaining that he was dead.
Nothing could arouse him. He refus-
ed to eat, and was in fair way OF
starving to death. After three days
q doctor was called, who devised n
plot to save the students life. His
younger brother stretched himself out
on the bed and announced that he
was dead also. Not without difficulty
he persuaded the young man that it
was customary in the other world
to eat a sufficient quantity OF food
daily. Seeing the youngster enjoying
a bowl of soup, the dead man finally
concluded to do likewise. The strange
fancy lasted several days longer, when
the students wits came back to him.
He gave up his medical studies, how
ever.
